    xkcd is great in general

    :v:

    but

    MATH

    xkcd is great.

    In that it spawned xkcd explained.
    Fuck this I’m done.
    Fortunately, XKCD sucks is still going. The guy who started XKCD Sucks has abandoned it for the ugly Webcomics.me, but there's plenty of hate to go around.

    I think XKCD should be in the first spoiler instead of SMBC. It's not very good anymore, but that's because Zach is trying too hard. Randall doesn't try at all.

    The really tragic part is that Zach is trying to be Randall.

    Sinfest has good art and good execution of ideas sometimes but those ideas are rarely actually any good.

    The best thing about sinfest is that it isn't jerkcity.

    going back through the XKCD Explained archives, I'm getting a little annoyed by the "white people" comments

    maybe randall xkcd should just sink into his niche like wet cement, and make graph jokes that overlay perfectly on pages of the kama sutra.

    like sinfest guy does with asian calligraphy

    Yeah, he always had a sort of geeky humor that sometimes included graph jokes, but I think around 2008 he snapped because he couldn't stand how he makes 5 panel full color comics every day and Randall scribbles some shit at 11:50 pm every night and yet Randall is far more popular. SMBC Theater also took away too much time from the comic, and SMBC Theater isn't even very good. I still watch it for some reason, but I rarely laugh.

    I think that's more a description of the best thing about the universe.

    Here is a comic from the AC. The redhead is blind.

    You assumed correctly.

    I figured it was obvious.

    Oh. For a moment I thought that was from Katawa Shoujo, but then I remembered that's not anime and I don't know what this is.
